Specific implementation mode
The exemplary audio digitization system for embodying the present invention is shown in Fig. 1.The digitization system 10 is for the company of scanning Continue mobile strip recording medium 11, and the analog sound information being recorded in the recording medium 11 is digitized.Fig. 2 shows The example for the recording medium 11 that can be used in combination with system shown in Fig. 1.In this example, it is film 11a.Although In preferred embodiment, it is illustrated so that cinefilm digitizes as an example, thus recording medium 11 is to record to have on film 11a The cinefilm of one or more tracks, however, it should be understood that the other embodiment of the present invention is equally applicable to and other The analog encoding recording medium (e.g., open reel tape, drum-type gramophone and single etc.) for needing transmission mechanism of form It is used together.
Film 11a includes one or more analog sound tracks 14 along one or two edge, and the analog sound track is to film Frame sequence 13a, 13b provide monophonic or dual-channel audio information.According to recording technology used, track 14 can be divided into magnetic sound Rail or optical sound track.Synchronization track 12 (or also referred to as benchmark track) is may also set up, synchronization track generally includes multiple holes. Each hole or one group of Kong Keyu each frame 13a, 13b are associated.Benchmark track 12 is commonly provided for passing in film moving process It send and stable base film 11a.It also is used as the canonical reference that certain camera systems measure frame sign.
Now referring again to Fig. 1, recording medium 11 is carried by Transmission system 15, and Transmission system 15 makes recording medium 11 with basic Constant speed moves through reading head 16, to read the analog sound information of storage.In an illustrated embodiment, reading head 16 Associated scan position, recording medium 11 are scanned when across the position.In this example, reading head 16 is one Optical pickup.The light source 17 of the optical sound track of irradiation recording medium 11 is equipped on the side of recording medium 11.It is situated between in record The other side of matter 11 is equipped with reading head 16, which receives the light transmitted via recording medium 11, and generates representative Via the analog output signal for the light that recording medium 11 is transmitted.Then, analog output signal is sent to analog-digital converter (ADC) 18 are converted into digital form.Although shown in Fig. 1 being a kind of system of optical storage and reading track, it is to be understood, however, that , it is magnetic track that the present invention, which is also easy in track, and reading head is to be used in magnetic other systems.In some embodiments In, recording medium 11 may include the track of (e.g., optics and magnetism) in a variety of forms coding, and the system may include with each The corresponding reading head of track.
According to the present invention, analog-digital converter 18 is configured to the transmission rate determination sensed based on recording medium 11 Sample rate samples the simulation output of reading head 16.The sample rate differs very little, and changeable with digitized target sample rate The sample rate compensates transmission rate deviation of the recording medium 11 relative to reading head 16.
The transmission rate of recording medium 11 can determine by various modes.In one embodiment, the biography of recording medium 11 Defeated rate can be based at least one rotary part 19 of the transmission mechanism 15 of bearing recording medium 11 speed or speed come It determines.More specifically, system 10 can monitor rotation or the prison of the rotary part 19 of the transmission mechanism 15 of bearing recording medium 11 Survey the rotating element (not shown) for the rotary part 19 for being rotationally attached to transmission mechanism 15.In some cases, the system The linear movement of the element (not shown) by the rotary part movement of Transmission system can be monitored.In the especially preferred embodiments, Rotary part 19 is that recording medium 11 passes through accurate roller thereon.The roller can processing and installation on bearing, to ensure it very It is close to round (or being accurate to the machining tolerance actually allowed), and can be with the drive manner as close possible to concentric circularity It is installed on bearing.In addition, being equipped with multiple reading heads in the diameter opposite side of roller 19, the setting of these reading heads can eliminate roller 19 influence caused by due to rotational concentricity deficiency.
Fig. 3 shows the more details of embodiment shown in Fig. 1.In this embodiment, transmission mechanism 15 includes rotatable Ground is connected to the encoder 20 on the roller 19 of transmission mechanism 15.Encoder 20 is configured to generate 20 rotation position of instruction encoder Output signal.For example, each turnover that encoder 20 is configured as roller 19 generates arbitrary an appropriate number of pulse.In a reality It applies in example, produces 512 subpulses, and in other embodiments, produce greater number pulse, e.g., 1000 times.Encoder 20 Output signal received and analyzed by speed estimator 21.The speed estimator 21 have high frequency clock (e.g., 150MHz) and Record the quantity of the pulse received from encoder 20.Thus speed estimator 21 can calculate rotation of the roller 19 in transmission process Rotary speed fluctuates.If it is determined that it is expected that between rotating speed that then speed estimator 21 will generate a frequency adjustment letter there are deviation Number, which then generates the modulator clock signal of ADC converters 18 together with clock base frequency.
Those skilled in the art are it should be understood that the sample rate for digitized simulation audio signal ordinarily is about 50kHz so that can capture and the sound in frequency band similar in mankind's hearing frequency band.In this example, the mesh of ADC converters 18 Mark sample rate is 48kHz.In this example, ADC converters 18 are using increment accumulation modulator (Delta Sigma modulator).Those skilled in the art it should be understood that increment accumulation modulator have single-bit analog-digital converter, and Over-sampling can be carried out to analog signal to be higher by target sampling rate (e.g., 48kHz) many frequencies.Increment accumulation modulator is adopted The bit-depth needed for signal digitlization is provided with over-sampling.In some embodiments, it can equalize and be modulated from increment accumulation The output signal (with converter sampling rate as described below) of device, and combination producing one and traditional analog-digital converter are with target frequency The comparable signal of signal of rate (e.g., 48kHz) sampling.
ADC converters 18 have modulator clock signal, implement control in each continuous sampling of ADC converters.At this In example, modulator clock frequency is usually 12.288MHz, still, in order to ensure keeping institute under different transmission speed/interference Sample frequency is needed, modulator clock frequency can be changed according to the sample frequency needed for output voice signal.In this example, increment Accumulation analog-to-digital converter is run in a manner of being equal to traditional 8 bit 48kHz analog-digital converters.In other embodiments, it can adopt With higher or lower bit-depth or sample rate, e.g., 24 bit 9696kHz outputs.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is based on The output adjustment modulator clock frequency (raise or lower using centre frequency as standard) of speed estimator 21, is being transmitted with compensation The velocity deviation sensed during recording medium 11.Preferably, velocity deviation is within the scope of 2.048~15.36HMz, but Higher or lower speed can be used.When the instantaneous transmission speed of recording medium 11 is less than desired value, the rotary frequency of roller 19 is reduced Rate.Encoder 20 can then detect this variation, and speed estimator 21 will turn down the frequency of modulator clock signal.With Increase ADC converters 18 sampling time.On the contrary, if the fluctuation of transmission speed is more than desired value, increase modulator Clock frequency and the actual sample rate for correspondingly increasing ADC converters 18, e.g., according to the above preferred modulator clock Frequency:Between 8~60kHz.
For conceptive, it is contemplated that for the simple sinusoidal sound wave that can be used as the playback of fixed frequency tone.In order to The tone is sampled, sample can be taken in the every secondary wave crest and trough of analog signal, wherein wave crest and trough on waveform 30 with Ellipse representation.Since transmission speed fluctuates in replayed section, the analogue audio frequency output that audio reader 16 is read Signal is not a complete sine signals, and the time domain of the waveform of a portion is compressed, and the time domain broadening in another portion.When adopting (when the ideal position of waveform wave crest and trough samples) is sampled with fixed rate, wave crest and trough can be ignored.However, in this hair In bright embodiment, the sample rate of digitaling analoging signal is may be adjusted for, for example, by adjusting the clock letter of control sample rate Number, so that it is matched with the time domain interference in waveform.This makes the sample taken at waveform wave crest and wave crest more consistent, and And the sample and trough taken in waveform trough are more consistent (ellipse as shown in waveform 32).Although ADC converters is defeated It is to be derived under variable sampling rate, but bit stream is to be exported (in the examples described above, with fixed target bit rate to go out bit stream Target bit rate is 48kHz).
The output bit stream 32 of ADC converters is sent to audio buffer 34 with scheduled bit rate.But, it may be necessary to it adjusts Whole output bit stream makes it be consistent with required downstream bit stream.This can be realized by sampling rate converter 36.For example, sampling Rate converter receives reference frequency from the component (e.g., roller 38) of Transmission system.The reference frequency indicate recording medium 11 relative to The transmission rate of output signal demand.For example, if Digital output signal indicates transmission 24 frames (fps) audio per second, and it is real Border transmission rate is only 12fps, then buffer storage 34 will accumulate twice sample number generated needed for audio output signal.It adopts Sample rate converter 36 corrects unmatched output signal.
In another example, if Digital output signal expression transmission 24 frames (fps) audio per second, and actual transmissions Rate is 30fps, then buffer storage 34 needs the sample number accumulated far below the sample number generated needed for audio output signal. Such case waveform 31 indicates, wherein can directly be generated by ADC converters 18 with the sampled point that ellipse indicates.However, this Show analog signal undersampling (be primarily due to each second digitized frame number excessive).In this case, sample rate turns Data flow of the output of parallel operation 36 containing 6 data points with square indicia, rather than the sampled value containing 5 with ellipse label Data flow.Sample rate transformation mechanism can be used any suitable technology well known by persons skilled in the art and carry out.
The second feedback mechanism also can be used to control the accumulation of digitized audio in buffer storage 34.It should be understood that It is that buffer storage 34 must can be fed containing enough without the data of spilling to sampling rate converter.This can pass through It monitors the use of buffer and estimator 21 of accordingly regulating the speed above and below is generated control signals to by PID controller 37 It exports to be controlled.PID controller 37 is usually adjusted with lower frequency and (e.g., is less than audible frequency), therefore, Bu Huiying Ring the quality of output audio.
Fig. 4 shows the second embodiment of system shown in Fig. 1.Its common trait is consistent with reference number, no longer superfluous herein It states.System shown in system and Fig. 3 in the present embodiment is not the difference is that the system in the present embodiment includes sample rate Converter 36.This is because the system in the present embodiment allows ADC converters 18 in the frequency model compared to earlier examples bigger Enclose interior change modulator clock signal.
Allow ADC converters 18 to change frequency in a wider context, flutter and mesh in correction can be handled The bigger frequency departure occurred within the scope of sample rate is marked, for example, higher can also be used between 8~60kHz in target sampling rate Or lower sample rate.
In addition, transmission mechanism 15 includes the encoder 20 being rotationally attached on the roller 19 of transmission mechanism 15.Encoder 20 are configured to generate the output signal of 20 rotation position of instruction encoder.The output signal of encoder 20 is by speed estimator 21 It receives and analyzes.Speed estimator 21 records the step-by-step counting received from encoder 20.As described in above-described embodiment, it can adopt With any suitable number of encoder pulse, but every turn pulse and be considered to be suitable for about 1000 times.Speed estimator 21 can be by This calculates rotary speed fluctuation of the roller 19 in transmission process.If it is determined that it is expected between rotating speed there are deviation, then speed Estimator 21 will generate a frequency adjusted signal, which then generates the modulation of ADC converters 18 together with clock base frequency Device clock signal.Modulator clock signal implements control in each continuous sampling of ADC converters.Based on speed estimator 21 Output adjustment modulator clock frequency (is raised or is lowered using centre frequency as standard), to compensate in 11 process of transmission log medium In the velocity deviation that senses.The output bit stream 32 of ADC converters is sent to audio buffer 34 with scheduled bit rate.At this In example, Digital output signal can directly be read from buffer storage 34, without resampling.It should be understood that this Embodiment can be target sampling rate identical with embodiment shown in Fig. 3 (e.g., between 8~60kHz or 96kHz or more) It is realized under bit-depth (e.g., 8 bits, 24 bits or other required bit-depths).
The second feedback mechanism also can be used to control the accumulation of digitized audio in buffer storage 34.It should be understood that It is that buffer storage 34 must contain enough without the data of spilling, can be with the sample rate output data of correction.This can By monitoring the use of buffer and generating control signals to estimator of accordingly regulating the speed above and below by PID controller 37 21 output is controlled.PID controller 37 is usually adjusted with lower frequency and (e.g., is less than audible frequency), therefore, no It can influence the quality of output audio.
